After hearing that faint cry for help, Shen Xingyi's eyes, which were almost filled with despair, suddenly showed a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, he no longer cared about his cleanliness, nor did he care that his haute couture suit was scratched by rocks.

He crawled down carefully but quickly, his tense face revealing his nervousness at the moment.

Soon, he saw Xu Xiu's figure.

She was clinging to a tree with both hands, her messy hair fluttering in the mountain wind, and a faint scratch on her pale face that still shed blood.

He looks so pitiful.

The tree grew out from the edge of the cliff. It was a thin tree. It trembled and swayed when the wind blew, which made Shen Xingyi frightened.

"Xu Xiu, don't move."

Shen Xingyi had never thought that his own voice could be so flustered at times.

On the other side, Xu Xiu, looking weak, helpless and pitiful, gritted his teeth and hugged the tree tightly, not daring to speak loudly, but his eyes could not help but reveal his inner complaints.

Brother, it's not me who's moving. It's the tree! It's the tree that's shaking.

But Xu Xiu only dared to shout in his heart and couldn't utter a word.

She closed her eyes and tried to breathe as lightly as possible.

Shen Xingyi approached slowly and cautiously, holding back his trembling as he stretched out his hand towards Xu Xiu.

*

After Xu Xiu was successfully rescued, his legs were so weak and his hands were so weak that he couldn't even lift them.

So when Shen Xingyi held her tightly in his arms, she did not struggle at all.

When the little bean saw his mother again, he excitedly rushed over and said, "Mom!"

He originally wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms to relieve the fear he had just felt after learning that his mother had fallen off the cliff.

But after squeezing in, I found that there was no place for me in my mother's arms!

He looked blankly at his mother who was tightly hugged by his father. Without thinking too much, he just dived in between the two of them.

With his efforts, he finally succeeded in squeezing out a gap between the two people.

Xu Xiu also recovered and held the little kid in his arms, afraid of scaring him. He smiled and winked at him:

"How's it going, mom, isn't she awesome?"

The little girl pursed her lips, raised her hand distressedly to wipe the dried blood stains on her face, and nodded heavily:

"Mom is the best!"

Mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Xingyi, who was pushed away, did not move. He half-knelt on the side with a dazed expression. His face was so pale that it was even uglier than Xu Xiu's.

He looked at the empty arms, and after a long time, the fear in his heart gradually dissipated.

After calming down again, he narrowed his phoenix eyes dangerously, and his blade-like gaze shot towards the out-of-control truck.

His glasses had been lost when he rescued Xu Xiu just now. His phoenix eyes were no longer covered, but were obviously filled with sinister cruelty. He was very different from his usual cold and indifferent self.

At this moment, he was full of murderous intent and his aura was terrifying.

He slowly stood up, his low voice carrying obvious chill:

"Check, I want all the information about this person."

Zhang Zhou was so shocked that he trembled all over and immediately agreed.

*

Xu Xiu only had some scratches on his face, and his hands and legs were a little more serious, but there were no broken bones. He would probably be fine after a few days of rest.

When the accident happened, even though she immediately realized something was wrong and wanted to get out of the car, the truck had already hit her.

Fortunately, Xu Xiu had already prepared to escape, so the moment the car rolled off the cliff, she jumped out and ran away. After rolling twice, she hugged the life-saving tree.

This saved a life.

Lying on the hospital bed, Xu Xiu sighed helplessly after coaxing the little kid to sleep.

Yesterday she was still feeling lucky that she had avoided the car accident targeting Shen Xingyi, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn so soon.

It’s simply impossible to guard against.

Moreover, Shen Xingyi has already investigated clearly and found out that the call from the vice president in the morning was also made under duress.

A group of people broke into his house in the early morning, tied up his family and threatened them. The vice president had no choice but to make this phone call.

The truck driver had died due to serious injuries. It seemed that he was just driving while fatigued which caused the car accident, but Xu Xiu understood that Ji Zhirun must be involved in this incident.

So, this is all a game.

From the call from the hospital, to the tree blocking the road, and the out-of-control truck, one thing led to another.

Looking at the little kid sleeping soundly, Xu Xiu kissed his forehead with heartache.

The little guy has been frightened many times during this period. The previous kidnapping could be said to be an unexpected disaster, but this time it was obviously intentional.

This time, if the little kid hadn't suddenly decided to go and move the tree, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiu quietly got up and went to the outer room, where Shen Xingyi happened to come back from outside.

After seeing him, Xu Xiu asked how the investigation was going. The moment Shen Xingyi lowered his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, and then he curved the corners of his lips:

"Don't worry, I won't let them go."

The tone was calm, but it carried an obvious bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Xu Xiu nodded, thinking about other things, but when she came to her senses, she saw Shen Xingyi's big hand stretched out in front of her.

Her whole body stiffened, and Shen Xingyi's fingertips had already touched her cheek.

"Does it still hurt?"

His tone was heavy, as if Xu Xiu had been seriously injured.

But it was just a minor scratch, so Xu Xiu shook his head and dodged it indifferently.

Then she discovered that there were several hideous wounds on Shen Xingyi's palms.

Was he injured while rescuing her?

Xu Xiu pointed at his hand and suggested:

"Do you want to see a doctor to bandage it? Be careful of infection."

Shen Xingyi then took a look at the wound on his hand and nodded in agreement:

"it is good."

But his body didn't move.

Xu Xiu had no choice but to press the call bell. Soon, a nurse came to the ward and bandaged the wound on Shen Xingyi's hand.

Only then did Xu Xiu realize that the wound was much more serious than she had imagined and even required stitches.

After the nurse left, she once again expressed her gratitude to Shen Xingyi for saving her life.

In any case, if Shen Xingyi hadn't insisted on going down the mountain immediately along the traces, the rescue would probably have taken a detour down the mountain, and by that time, she wouldn't have been able to hold on.

But after hearing her gratitude, Shen Xingyi shook his head:

"I harmed you, and you were implicated by me."

There was a deep chill in his eyes.

This time, the incident touched his sore spot.

When his car was vandalized before, he was able to remain calm and wait for the big fish. But after what happened today, he absolutely could not accept it happening a second time.

*

Xu Xiu was discharged from the hospital soon.

The fact that she had been in a car accident had always been kept secret, but Lin Lou somehow found out about it and tried to visit her, but was stopped by Shen Xingyi.

After being discharged from the hospital, Xu Xiu resumed his normal work as if everything was over.

But the wealthy circles in Yanjing found that something seemed to be wrong.

The Shen family, which had no intersection in the past, and the business genius Ji Zhirun seemed to be at odds with each other. In just half a month, the companies under Ji Zhirun's name were surrounded and almost collapsed.

Shen Xingyi completely disregarded the consequences and didn't care what others thought. He used ruthless means to force Ji Zhirun's company into a dead end.

When the people around saw this situation, they all retreated away, fearing that they would anger the Shen family and get themselves into trouble.
